LOC (London Offshore Consultants), of which Longitude Engineering is a group member, is a recognized leader in the area of risk reduction in the shipping and offshore energy industry. LOC focuses on transportation and construction in the marine environment, advising on technical matters when accidents and disputes arise. With the structural design and analysis of offshore structures, the ability to predict performance in a range of circumstances is critical. This is a specialist area of the LOC Group company, Longitude Engineering. 

Core tools that analyze performance and strength of marine structures, which are typically built specifically for each application, are critical and Longitude Engineering relies on Femap for global and local finite element analysis.

For LOC, one of the outstanding benefits of Femap was ease of use. The use of Femap is helping to achieve engineering consistency across the group, with LOC operating at a high level, and Longitude Engineering going into the full detail. Femap can be used to show what forces a structure can withstand, or where material can be reduced. LOC’s engineers can quickly identify areas of high stress and easily redesign a structure to reduce them. The approach is helping LOC to reduce its overall s peed of development, helping to meet deadlines with engineers able to pass models from one office to another maximizing their effectiveness.

▶️ About Simcenter:
"Engineering departments today must develop smart products that integrate mechanical functions with electronics and controls, utilize new materials and manufacturing methods and deliver new designs within ever shorter design cycles. This requires current engineering practices for product performance verification to evolve into a Digital Twin approach, which enables to follow a more predictive process for systems driven product development.

Simcenter software uniquely combines system simulation, 3D CAE and test to help you predict performance across all critical attributes earlier and throughout the entire product lifecycle. By combining physics-based simulations with insights gained from data analytics, Simcenter helps you optimize design and deliver innovations faster and with greater confidence."
